brigie bear Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 Hel all, Just wondering if any of you had ever experienced this before... Earlier today our 6 months old Pom pup threw up when looked like grey/brown sludge... Like stool almost... It smelled absolutely foul and looked horrible - almost like diarrhea? After she threw up she was totally fine though (before she threw up she was fine also) - this was a few hours ago. She has been happily playing all day and is behaving 100% normal. She went to the groomers at 3pm and now she's sort of squinting, but I am putting that down to water or soap irritating her eyes by mistake (was her first groomers experience). She's still acting normal, ate all of her dinner like always and is now playing in the living room. I didnt take her to the vets this arvo as hubby told me to wait a while and watch her behavior etc and she appeared to be totally fine. Have any of you ever seen this before? Should I be worried and/or does she need to go to the vets tonight? Thanks a million, BB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erny Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 Has she passed a stool? My concern would be a bowel blockage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brigie bear Posted September 29, 2009 Author Share Posted September 29, 2009 not yet, but she usually does them around the same time each day and night... she did her morning one, but hasnt done her night one yet... If she doesnt do her night one tonight, i should take her to the vet early in the morning? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigDaz Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 My girl did this once, inside, is was the poo she ate earlier. Hopefully it is that and not something worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brigie bear Posted September 29, 2009 Author Share Posted September 29, 2009 How common is a bowel blockage and how likely is it that it could be that? Little worried now even though she's acting fine... Would she be acting fine if she had something serious like that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
persephone Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 My first thought was the same as erny! (been there, done that) Reason being- if it looks like faecal matter, smells like faecal matter..... However, any chance she has eaten her own faeces?..That particular snack is defiitely NOT pleasant when recycled Hopefully she is ok overnight... any more vomiting, diarrhoea/constipation, restlessness..phone your vet.

Lizzy06 Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 How is your puppy today? Did you work out what it was? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brigie bear Posted September 29, 2009 Author Share Posted September 29, 2009 She seems totally fine! She did her regular poo last night, ate her dinner and her brekkie and has also done her morning poo this morning... No idea what it was but it was just awful... I'm still going to keep my eye on her during the day today just in case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nekhbet Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 do you have a cat yourself or does a cat visit your yard? If your dog is passing its own poos then there is no blockage sounds like she just found some lovely poo, ate it and her stomach decided not to keep the little present Dogs with blockages will not be vomiting up their own whole fecal matter, the gastrointestinal tract has several sphincters to prevent backflow into the stomach and the movement of the gut pushed food forward, not back. you can suspect a blockage if - dog vomits constantly food, then bile, then nothing but clear mucus. They will eat a meal and it will bounce straight back up again - cannot pass any more poo, dog can try then nothing come out - cramped walk - stomach ache, whining, laying down, looking generally uncomfortable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But my neighbor has a cat who I am sure would come into my yard when I am not watching... Hmm... Very possible! She has also been known to take a sample of her own poo... but I monitor that and pick it up before she gets the chance, more than likely it was the cats. What a relief! When I saw it yesterday I was like "WOW, thats not right!" it was so awful! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CBL Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 I have a poo-eater here (will only eat the others though).

I immediately took the doona to the drycleaners and apologised for what they were about to encounter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
